The best picks in new Latin music

 

jlevin@MiamiHerald.com

• Calle 13 Entren Los Que Quieren: The visionary musical rebels keep getting smarter, funnier, deeper, more radical and more musically invigorating. $10.33.

• Gaby Moreno Illustrated Songs: Lusciously melodic, dreamily idiosyncratic songs from this Guatemalan singer-songwriter who melds blues from El Norte with Latin traditions. $5.99 mp3, $17 autographed CD.

• Andrea Echeverri Dos: The inimitable godmama of Latin alternative and co-founder of Los Aterciopelados is back with another sweetly personable, liberated-Latina family album (recorded with her mother and daughter). $12.64.

• Los Tigres del Norte and Friends MTV Unplugged: The Mexican norteno kings and immigrant idols cement their hipster credentials with this exuberant live outing, featuring guest stars including Juanes and Zack de la Rocha. $11.66.

• DJ Pauer Soundtrack: Local DJ makes good in this funky-strange, electro-cumbia, totally danceable, only-from-Miami disc. $6.93 mp3.

• David Byrne & Fatboy Slim Here Lies Love: Not Latin, not world, not categorizeable – but an intoxicating, gloriously ambitious pop-opera on the life of Imelda Marcos, with a fabulous slate of singers including Florence Welch and Cyndi Lauper. $13.86

• ManaDrama y Luz: Longtime Mexican pop rockers with renewed energy and fire. $13.68.

• Hola Hi Primavera: This couple puts a fresh twist on alternative pop rock – catchy, charming, soulful and unexpected. $10.31.

• Willy Chirino My Beatles Heart: Miami’s exile bard pays tribute to his Western rock-and-roll heroes; Drive My Car as a merengue, Obladi Oblada as a salsa, Blackbird straight up, and lots of love. $12.41.

• Ballake Sissoko & Vincent Segal Chamber Music: Lyrical, intricate, almost telepathically sensitive meeting of musical worlds, featuring African kora and French cello virtuosos. $13.94.
